Philippa and Katie cover the week in Ambridge — Sunday 6th to Tuesday 8th September — and Harrison and Lily have moved considerably faster than anyone predicted.
From moving trestle tables on Sunday to moving furniture of a different kind entirely by Tuesday, Harrison and Lily have gone for it. Fallon has commented that Lily is such a sweetheart. Harrison has mentioned a walk up Lakey Hill. Jolene has offered bacon sandwiches. Nobody has said anything out loud yet but it is only a matter of time. Both hosts are here for it, worried about how clingy Lily might get, and absolutely certain Fallon is going to find out the worst possible way.
The Flower and Produce Show on Sunday was a genuine highlight — eleven characters, four types of cake, Dom from the Repair Shop fixing Tony's model tractor, Keira winning a prize, Usha's extraordinary fruit tableau, and Martyn's speech about excellent garlic that neither host heard enough of. Clarrie is back. Leonard is back. It felt like proper Archers.
Carol rings Anna at half past six in the morning about a baby bat. It does not go well. Robert and Lynda are getting cancellations at the B&B and Lynda says she is exhausted. Both hosts think it is time to downsize.
Plus: whether Jolene's smoothie could really have won anything, Rex's narrowboat as a potential Harrison and Lily love nest, the Charlotte Martin interview out this weekend, and a reminder that All About The Archers is now available as video on Apple Podcasts.
Star of the Week, Twitter of the Week and predictions including Usha becoming a judge on a radish-based television programme.
